• Face Detection AF and AE may not work if the subject is wearing sunglasses, has part of their face covered or is not looking toward the camera.

If the camera cannot detect the subject’s face, the camera focuses using the setting currently selected in [Focusing Area].

However, the Smile Capture function may not work and an image may not be captured, even when turned on, depending on the condition of the recognized faces, such as the faces are too small. If this happens, press the shutter release button to take a picture.

In e(Pet) mode, the Face Detection mode is switched to Pet Detection (only one pet).

If you use the Face Detection function when the flash mode is set to , (Auto), the flash mode automatically changes to d (Flash On + Red- eye).

To Switch the Face Detection Function

By default, the Face Detection function is set to Face Detection On. You can switch to the Smile Capture function, which automatically releases the shutter when your subject smiles. The Face Detection function is switched as follows each time the I button is pressed:

Smile Capture ´ Self-portrait Assist ´ Self-portrait Assist + Smile Capture ´ Face Detection Off ´ Face Detection On

An icon indicating either Face Detection or Smile Capture appears on the display. (The Face Detection Off icon only appears right after the Face Detection function is switched to off.)
